Austrian leaders demand comprehensive clarification from germany on revelations that the federal intelligence service (BND) systematically intercepted authorities and companies in the alpine republic over many years.

"The outmab of surveillance was an enormous one," chancellor sebastian kurz said on saturday. Federal president alexander van der bellen said: "spying among friendly states is not only unusual and undesirable, but is unacceptable."The two spoke at a joint press conference scheduled at short notice.

The BND is said to have systematically monitored the telecommunications of central institutions in austria between 1999 and 2006, the austrian news magazine "profil" and the viennese newspaper "der standard" reported on saturday. Based on internal BND files, it is clear that a total of 2,000 telephone, fax and mobile lines as well as e-mail addresses were targeted by the german intelligence service during this period.

Oaks tolerate both drought and heat. "Ideal in times of climate change", according to forestry director michael kreppel, if it weren’t for the gypsy moth, a butterfly species whose caterpillars threaten to strip almost 160 hectares of deciduous forest bare.

The area affected is 85 hectares near seigendorf in the municipality of hirschaid, and 50 hectares in the "lohe" near bammersdorf, 16 hectares in trailsdorf, on the border to seubling and eight hectares in the municipality of igensdorf. In these areas, which cover a total area of almost 230 soccer fields, the pest was already active last summer.

In two days everything was bare

Forest owner georg hubert from eggolsheim, who enjoyed the lush green of his woods last spring, described the situation as follows: "when i looked into the woods from the road on christmas eve, it looked as if someone had switched on neon lights there. The young shoots of the beech trees of the undergrowth were completely eaten bare. Even the grass on the forest floor had disappeared." Two days later, the foliage of the treetops had also fallen victim to the caterpillars. The gypsy moth does not even like anything left over from the second shoots of the trees in the year.

Although the number of rip-offs and subscription traps on the internet has declined significantly with the introduction of the so-called button lottery, shrewd businessmen have once again found the first loopholes to circumvent the law. This is one of the resumes that the bamberger verbraucherzentrale drew in its annual review of the year. "Since august of last year, online providers have had to clearly mark paid offers with an order button. But this law is only aimed at consumers, not at roughnecks," says consumer advisor, describes consumer advisor dorothea tetschlag.

Now there are operators who pretend to offer "favorable" rates only to business customers residual items for sale. No one needs to bring a proof of his trade. Often, as the consumer advisor describes, it is enough to give the wrong company or the company where you work. But those who get involved don't end up with a snapper, but with a bill for membership.

Tariffs cause headaches
Last year, there were also problems in the area of telecommunications. "Although the amendment to the telecommunications act brought about many changes in favor of consumers, it was still a persistent subject of complaints for us", recalls consumer advisor brigitte buttel. For example, inadequate information about rates, costs and technology, as well as incomprehensible and unclear contractual terms and conditions, caused a lot of customer frustration. On the positive side, a customer is now allowed to be without a telephone and internet connection for a maximum of one calendar day when changing providers.

The effeltrich couple irene and hans pfistner are proud of 60 years of marriage together. They met in dobenreuth at a dance in the fire station.

The jubilarian was born in gosberg, her husband was born in effeltrich. Both spent their childhood and school years in their hometowns. While irene helped out on her parents’ farm, hans learned the trade of farmer on his parents’ farm.

On tuesday, 11. January 1958, they were installed in the parish church st. Georg effeltrich married by pastor georg jung. Irene, who is now 79, still remembers how the pastor used to pick her up at home and take her to church. "That was something very special at the time", she says.

German soccer champions borussia dortmund, unbeaten in 20 league games, will not be held back by underdog blob on their way to berlin. "Dortmund is the mab of things in german fubball," furth coach mike buskens emphasized. "There, one player costs more than our entire team". And if we add the value of our stadium, we might end up with the market value of mario gotze," said the coach, who turned 44 on monday. As an ex-schalker with a lot of heart, he’s particularly hot against BVB’s "full rockets," as he called the first-league leaders: "if dortmunders offer us anything, we’ll be there!"

The hostility in the ruhrpott is also a rough topic at the cup match, two ex-schalkers want to argue the guests: buskens was 18 years gelsenkirchener, 12 years stormed furths winter addition gerald asamoah for the "konigsblauen". The 33-year-old has scored four times in four second-division games to date, and he has a very special history with BVB: in 2007, schalke was on the verge of the championship, played in dortmund – and asamoah announced that he wanted to run home to fub if they won the title.

But schalke lost, stuttgart became champions, and asamoah’s tears flowed. "It was always cool to play against ludenscheid. I didn’t think I’d get the chance to do it again," he told "kicker" – he didn’t want to mention the name dortmund. His mission: "first defeat ludenscheid, then win the cup and become champions!"
